Sounds like Adelman wanted to do his own thing for a few years now, but never really had the courage to speak up. Hope it goes well for him! Also, he said this little tidbit towards the end of the interview: "I know there are going to be a bunch of forum comments and editorials saying, "OMG Nintendo is doomed!" but the truth is that Nintendo's indie program is in good hands. It was never really just me. There is a large group of people working on helping developers through the process and they're going to continue doing that. My understanding is that they are planning on back-filling my role. Before leaving, I put together a list of people I thought would be good candidates for the job and would be happy to provide any input they want. Having the right person in that role will be critical for the long-term health of the business, and I'm sure they're going to get someone great." |
He was in the neogaf thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=867680
Developers seemed to like him, but to be fair thats not enough.. I hope his succesor is more strongminded and really has the balls to improve Nintendo's indie program..
at the bolded: I think in the indie scene that isn't good enough.. through the proces of getting an indie game on a nintendo console? .. there should be more PR support, tech support for developers, maybe even some funds... (maybe he means that, but it seems to me with "process" its only how to get an indie game on a nintendo console..) There need to be a stronger person at the helm..
